DESCRIPTION
-----------
'git daemon' will refuse to start when this option is enabled and no
whitelist is specified.
---base-path=path::
+--base-path=<path>::
Remap all the path requests as relative to the given path.
This is sort of "GIT root" - if you run 'git daemon' with
'--base-path=/srv/git' on example.com, then if you later try to pull
This is useful for switching to --base-path usage, while still
allowing the old paths.
---interpolated-path=pathtemplate::
+--interpolated-path=<pathtemplate>::
To support virtual hosting, an interpolated path template can be
used to dynamically construct alternate paths. The template
supports %H for the target hostname as supplied by the client but
Have the server run as an inetd service. Implies --syslog.
Incompatible with --port, --listen, --user and --group options.
---listen=host_or_ipaddr::
+--listen=<host_or_ipaddr>::
Listen on a specific IP address or hostname. IP addresses can
be either an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address if supported. If IPv6
is not supported, then --listen=hostname is also not supported and
--listen must be given an IPv4 address.
Incompatible with '--inetd' option.
---port=n::
+--port=<n>::
Listen on an alternative port. Incompatible with '--inetd' option.
---init-timeout=n::
+--init-timeout=<n>::
Timeout between the moment the connection is established and the
client request is received (typically a rather low value, since
that should be basically immediate).
---timeout=n::
+--timeout=<n>::
Timeout for specific client sub-requests. This includes the time
it takes for the server to process the sub-request and the time spent
waiting for the next client's request.
---max-connections=n::
+--max-connections=<n>::
Maximum number of concurrent clients, defaults to 32. Set it to
zero for no limit.
--verbose, thus by default only error conditions will be logged.
--user-path::
---user-path=path::
+--user-path=<path>::
Allow {tilde}user notation to be used in requests. When
specified with no parameter, requests to
git://host/{tilde}alice/foo is taken as a request to access
--detach::
Detach from the shell. Implies --syslog.
---pid-file=file::
+--pid-file=<file>::
Save the process id in 'file'. Ignored when the daemon
is run under `--inetd`.
---user=user::
---group=group::
+--user=<user>::
+--group=<group>::
Change daemon's uid and gid before entering the service loop.
When only `--user` is given without `--group`, the
primary group ID for the user is used. The values of
the facility of inet daemon to achieve the same before spawning
'git daemon' if needed.
---enable=service::
---disable=service::
+--enable=<service>::
+--disable=<service>::
Enable/disable the service site-wide per default. Note
that a service disabled site-wide can still be enabled
per repository if it is marked overridable and the
repository enables the service with a configuration
item.
---allow-override=service::
---forbid-override=service::
+--allow-override=<service>::
+--forbid-override=<service>::
Allow/forbid overriding the site-wide default with per
repository configuration. By default, all the services
are overridable.

different from the commit's first parent).
-[git-rev-list-args...]::

A list of arguments, acceptable to 'git rev-parse' and
'git rev-list', that specifies the specific objects and references
to export. For example, `master{tilde}10..master` causes the
the newly constructed pack and index before refs can be
updated to use objects contained in the pack.
---keep='why'::
+--keep=<msg>::
Like --keep create a .keep file before moving the index into
its final destination, but rather than creating an empty file
- place 'why' followed by an LF into the .keep file. The 'why'
+ place '<msg>' followed by an LF into the .keep file. The '<msg>'
message can later be searched for within all .keep files to
